But, state standards are similarly slow-moving. Are you aware of any examples of states quickly revising their standards to align with those being successful in another state? I am not. <BR/><BR/>I am aware though of many states writing standards inspired by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the National Council of Teachers of English, or the International Society of Technology in Education. <BR/><BR/>This is something I am still learning about though. If you're aware of any resources about this topic I should check out, please let me know.Abby Thakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836678452153119625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758530388044311902.post-64296690360892174572008-06-18T19:50:00.000-07:002008-06-18T19:50:00.000-07:00While I am admittedly not well versed in the intri...While I am admittedly not well versed in the intricacies of national and state standards...<BR/><BR/>I believe we need to be careful of believing that Washington bureaucrats will be able to create the right set of standards.<BR/><BR/>One strength of allowing States to determine their own standards is that it allows 50 experiments. <BR/><BR/>If Hawaii, for example, mandates a conceptually better set of standards, then other states can quickly adopt them.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, national standards will be very slow-moving, hard to change, and disconnected from students.Nitinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839452110850526952noreply@blogger.com
